WINNIPEG, September 3.-[Special to The
M'ner by the Rocky Mountain TeIegraph.1
IA political picnic is announced for Mon
day, at Morris, when the Red River Rail.
road situation will be discussed pro and con
Hon. Thompson, Minister of Justice: Hon.
White, Minister OF the Interior; Hon. Nc.
Lean, Postmaster-G General, and several
provincial ministers and local lights, will
deliver addresses. 1t is expected that the
course OF the Dominion Government in
tends to pursue relative to the matter will
be definitely announced. II this should be
contrary to the wishes OF the people q
lively demonstration may be expected.
Considerable legal machinery has been set
IN motion relative to the recent injunctions,
and it is just possible that this may clash
With the popular will. It is reported that
the possible completion of the road will
De delayed until next spring, but the local
government and people are much opposed
to the idea, and do not entertain this the
ory of it.
ANOTHER INJUNCTION
has been applied for against the much en-
Joined Red River road. This raises the total
to four and a few more may probably turn
up yet. The Canadian Pacific railroads
influence is attributed as the cause. The
government ministers, contractors and
others are being examined preparatory for |
legal wal which commences next week. There
can be no doubt but that as the cloud
thickens the feeling in favor ofannexationi is
among a certain class. but the idea
is anyhow publicly discountenanced by
leading citizens and more than may be
imagined expressed by the Federal Min.
listers. Car loads reconstruction materials
are arriving daily and there can be little
doubt the Dad will be in running order by
the middle of October.
YET AFTER ALL
there appear to be some financial difficult
ties creeping up and it is difficult to say
the matter will end. The report
rom Montreal that the rails were delayed
Under q banks lien, has been confirmed
it is hardly thought probable that
hey will be released until the middle of the |
month. The local minister's are reticient
IN the subject and it is thought it will re-
main undecided until Norquay's return
financial capabilities of the Govern
nent will be put to test about the 10th
nst., when some $145, 600 fall due to the
.ontractors. 1t may, however, be safely
Idded that all questions as to provincial
ability to meet the construction
the o may be diss.pated. The picnic
It Morris to-day is likely to prove inter-
sting. although none of the federal minis
ers will be present. Hon. White arrived
t Regina yesterday and remains a day or
wo. The examination on a%fidavits is Y
till being continued. s
